Past Students

Welcome to the Alumni section of the website.

This area is being developed to more effectively profile our Alumni by featuring the latest information about:

• engagements, marriages, births and obituaries
• proposed reunions and reunions that have taken place
• what our students and past community members have been up to
• student achievements and career profiles

Alumni Gateway

You will soon have the ability to re-connect with fellow students and community members via a secure Scots Alumni Gateway interface (watch this space!)

After retiring in 2006 following 30 years of teaching at the School, I have been asked to become the Alumni Relations Officer.  As part of this role I am involved in updating contact lists and assisting in organising functions such as Year Reunions and Get Togethers.  These functions enable the School to keep in contact with past students and community members, and for these people to keep in contact with each other.

Information is required!

With the amalgamation of Albury Grammar School and Woodstock Presbyterian Girls School in 1972 to form The Scots School Albury, the names and current addresses of many past associates of these schools are missing from the lists held by the School.

With other foundation schools such as Glenyr, Rosehill Girls School and Woodstock Girls School also forming an integral part of the history of The Scots School Albury, it has been difficult with this lack of information to ensure that students from these schools are able to contact past classmates and members of their school communities.

It is hoped that the Past Students section will assist in this process by enabling a contact point:  alumni@scotsalbury.nsw.edu.au. so that details can be kept up to date, and past students and community members can be kept informed about the continuing successes of The Scots School Albury and their fellow associates.

An Alumni section for Alumni stories....

Part of my role also entails keeping you informed about the ongoing successes of members from our Alumni community with stories and information that will be featured in this section.

To assist me with this task, I am asking that you provide me with information on Alumni happenings - anything that you feel the current and past school community would be interested in (including engagements, marriages, births and obituaries or just a quick note on what you have been up to since you left).

We are specifically interested in also profiling the types of careers people have chosen to pursue along with their life experiences.  For example, there have been numerous students who have represented state and national sporting teams, have received awards and accolades for their achievements, have worked in interesting fields or chosen alternative career paths - it is these stories that will help us to more effectively showcase the rich fabric of our school community.

With your assistance and permission I intend to use this information to update the Alumni Profiles section regularly to keep everyone informed about what our past students and community members have been up to, and where their life choices have taken them.

This information can be sent to me at alumni@scotsalbury.nsw.edu.au.

Ways to get involved and re-connect with your School...

The Development Office (02) 6022 0030 welcomes volunteers from past community members to assist with alumni events. Once a volunteer has been identified and has agreed to the Privacy Compliance conditions of the School they will be involved in updating year level lists, assisting with invitations, arranging social events, tours of the School or whatever form the alumni event takes.

In addition, the School has for many years attended a variety of Agricultural Field Days held in our area during September. The Henty Field Days are one such occasion where many past students have taken the opportunity to reacquaint themselves with the School.

I encourage all past students and community members to visit the School stand at these events to find out what is happening and to meet with present and past students, staff and parents who are in attendance. This is a great opportunity to update addresses and phone numbers and to re-connect with your school community.

Our Regional Get Togethers are also held on a regular basis and provide another opportunity for past students and community members in specific areas to maintain their connection with the school and meet with current families, our Principal Mrs Heather Norton, and senior staff members. Regional Get Togethers are always preceded by mail outs within the area, which re-enforces the importance of the School having accurate up-to-date contact lists.

As you can see the School makes considerable effort to keep in touch with present and past students and community members. It is my hope that you will also take the time to keep in touch so that you can continue to be kept aware of the achievements our students continue to make and why Scots remains the outstanding school of its type in this region.

I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
